Ok, I lied :)
I've commited my changes to the FW2 XML into CVS. I'll attach the list of
changes here
again.
I have more questions and points for discussion as a result of reading through
the book.
1) Consistency of text when allowing multiple shots (i.e. minimum: 1 round;
maximum: 5
rounds). I have seen several different methods of doing this in FW1 and FW2.
Should we
change these for consistency?? There is one occurence in FW1 where it refers
to firing 5
bullets, rather than 5 bursts, I reckon that this is errata and should be
changed.
2) Whenever there is a reference to finding food (i.e. enough canned food for 5
meals),
does it need clarifying that the 5 meals would occupy 5 slots, not 1?
3) Duplicate paths and illustrations. In FW2, sections 15, 102, 161, 207 and
261 all
detail subtely different text from section 68 (i.e. 6 ways of entering the
stadium),
should illustration 4 from section 68 be added to the other sections?
4) Clarification about ammo. Can you only take the ammo in a weapon if you
also take the
weapon itself? I always played that if I found a a weapon I already had, I
could add the
ammo to my supply without taking the additional weapon.
5) "HE Grenade" vs "H.E. Grenade" - FW1 uses H.E. Grenade, FW2-4 use "HE
Grenade". I
prefer "H.E. Grenade", should they all be changed for consistency.
6) "the Day" vs "The Day" - There are a couple of places where "The Day" is
used, but the
majority of references use "the Day". Should this also be changed for
consistency? A
actually think that "The" is better since it was such a monumental event, but I
can be
easily swayed.
7) FW2, section167: Is it worth changing "100 degrees Fahrenheit" so it uses
'°' (the
degree character)?
8) FW2, section207: You are told to erase items 2 & 3, or if you don't have 2
items to
erase medikits instead. Do we need clarification of how to handle 1 & 2 items?
Section
227 covers a similar situation, but explicitly tells you to cover any shortfall
in items
with medi-kits.
9) "gun fire" vs "gunfire" - Should instances of "gun fire" be replaced with
"gunfire"?
I'm not too sure about this one.
Iain.
